Tameside Planning Consultants

‘We love helping clients win Planning Permission in Tameside’

Tameside presents a varied and sometimes challenging planning environment shaped by historic mill towns, established residential neighbourhoods, and areas of ongoing regeneration.

With approximately 47 per cent of Tameside falling within the Green Belt the impact on Planning Permission applications can be significant: proposals must navigate Green Belt policy carefully, demonstrating very special circumstances or clear justification of need.

The borough includes a wide range of contexts, from Conservation Areas in Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge and Mossley to large suburban districts and former industrial sites primed for redevelopment.

We help secure Planning Permission for a broad spectrum of projects across the borough, including conversions, extensions, new-build homes, commercial schemes and changes of use. Many proposals sit within sensitive heritage settings or areas subject to Green Belt and Local Planning Authority constraints. In those cases clear policy interpretation, robust justification and strong presentation make a decisive difference to approval success.

Services We Offer

A successful Planning Application requires more than plans and forms: it relies on experience, sound judgement, and a constructive working relationship with the Local Planning Authority. Our carefully prepared submission packages give Tameside LPA confidence that your proposal is well considered, policy compliant, and worthy of approval. We provide the following services:

Planning, Design & Access Statements

We prepare clear and detailed statements that demonstrate how your proposal aligns with national policy (NPPF), Tameside’s Local Plan policies, and the specific site context. This is essential for any robust Planning submission, particularly in areas affected by Green Belt designations or sensitive heritage considerations.

Conservation Area Consents

We explain and justify your scheme’s layout, appearance, access, and relationship to its surroundings. This is particularly important for proposals within Conservation Areas such as Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, and Mossley, where careful design reasoning and clear presentation strengthen the case for approval.

Architectural Drawing & Specification Packages

With over twenty five years of experience, we produce comprehensive drawing packages that support a successful Planning Application, tailored to Tameside’s mix of historic towns, suburban areas, and sensitive Green Belt and Conservation settings.

Consultant Validation Reports

Many applications require supporting technical reports. We obtain quotations from trusted consultants, advise on the most suitable team, and coordinate all specialist inputs including transport, drainage, ecology, and heritage assessments.

Lawful Development Certificates

We prepare and submit LDCs for:

Permitted Development extensions and alterations
Long-established or undocumented changes of use
Confirming lawful use of land or buildings ahead of sale or re-financing
We gather the required evidence and present a clear and compelling case to Tameside LPA helping you avoid enforcement risks and delays.
